Minnesota Extends Initial PFAS Product Reporting Deadline

On 15 April 2026, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) announced a further extension of the initial reporting deadline under Minnesota’s PFAS in products requirements, adopted pursuant to Amara’s Law (Minn. Stat. § 116.943). Manufacturers now have until 15 September 2026 to submit their initial PFAS product reports through the PFAS Reporting Information System for Manufacturers (PRISM).
The extension applies to manufacturers of products containing intentionally added PFAS that are sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota, including products sold exclusively through online channels. The previous deadline had been set for 1 July 2026.
MPCA indicated that the additional time is intended to address practical challenges raised by manufacturers, particularly difficulties in collecting PFAS data across complex supply chains and in navigating the new PRISM reporting platform. Since the system’s launch, MPCA has continued to refine reporting guidance and expand support resources to improve data quality and consistency.
Manufacturers that determine they will still be unable to meet the revised September deadline may request a single 90 day extension, which would move the reporting deadline to 14 December 2026. Requests must be submitted using MPCA’s extension and waiver forms and must be postmarked by 16 August 2026.
The reporting obligation remains extensive despite the extended timeline. Required disclosures include product descriptions, the identity and function of PFAS intentionally added to each product or component, concentration information, and manufacturer contact details. Most reported information, excluding approved trade secrets, will become publicly accessible following MPCA’s review.
MPCA has emphasised that this timing adjustment does not alter the broader policy direction under Amara’s Law. Existing product restrictions adopted in 2025 remain in force, and Minnesota is moving toward a comprehensive ban on products containing intentionally added PFAS by 2032, subject to limited statutory exemptions.
Companies placing products on the Minnesota market should use the additional time to finalise internal data collection, align supplier reporting arrangements, and become fully familiar with PRISM ahead of the new deadline.
